I think Wyndham employees running businesses is a strange allegation to make. Understandable that they would see what is going on with mega renters and wanting a piece of that pie, but Wyndham wouldn't be okay with them doing that. I don't know if this is just a conspiracy theory or if Wyndham employees are exempt from the current rules or what is going on, but I am not believing it.
This allegation is real and in the coming months I will reveal names

Well that's a little on the paranoid side. Thank goodness this is an anonymous forum.


Maybe that person was paranoid, who knows ...I think what they were trying to say is it is not an anonymous forum...And claimed that this came from with in Wyndham...

That should be interesting... What I think happened is these employees were so embedded in the business Wyndham gave them a way out before making all the changes... This is just my opinion, though..

Definitely, the admins run this site for the benefit of Wyndham. They share free and copious advice to rescind developer purchases, many of them from Wyndham, and then turn in your name to Wyndham as a renter or complainer.

You have a source for this information? Wyndham employees buying resales for themselves or are they buying for Wyndham? It makes no sense that Wyndham would buy anything as they can take back for free with thier exit program. It also is more profitable for Wyndham if they sell it at $200/1000 points.
One individual is a director of sales for Wyndham and buys on Ebay and adds upwards of 10 + names to the deed. You know damn well this individual is renting. Another employee in sales for Wyndham is buying resale Points and flipping them to potential Wyndham Buyers that have toured, want into the program but will not pay the high prices Wyndham pitched.
Apparently, Wyndham doesn't pay well..lol

I'm with you, and I think there's a new member of my Ignore List...

He's kind of thin on bona fides. Three dozen posts and some of them were five or six one-liners in succession when one would have been sufficient. Many allegations, not much back up.

That's funny because I read the majority of the posts on here about Mega Renters that I know & have relationships with and the information posted is no accurate

Mega renters I hear have been squeezed out recently with the new changes. The resale points used with VIP benefits had to be a game changer. The black out dates for GC's on holiday weekends also was a game changer as a few here have discussed.
